Monogram develops visual, interactive interfaces that answer user queries with generated visuals and interactive cards instead of text-only chat—for example producing interactive recipe cards with ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions. The company argues this UI approach can broaden AI adoption similarly to how graphical user interfaces opened computing to nontechnical users. Monogram launched an iOS app alongside its fundraising announcement. It was founded by Eren Bali with co-founders Edouard Tabet and Murat Akbal. Financially, the company has raised a $40 million seed round led by DST Global and Lux Capital; articles do not report revenue, users, or other operating metrics.

Mission Control Games was founded by industry veterans Kıvanç Okutur (CEO) and Murat Gürel (CTO) from the Merge Dragons team to build novel experiences in the casual puzzle genre. Headquartered across London and Istanbul, the studio aims to explore new design approaches and create original sub-genres rather than replicate existing formats. The team emphasizes speed and iteration to rapidly test and refine concepts, and plans to leverage emerging capabilities in artificial intelligence to make games that "feel alive." The company has stated an ambition to become the largest mobile gaming company with the smallest team. With the $4 million pre-seed raise, Mission Control Games will expand its headcount and accelerate development of its first title.

Handhold builds AI account managers that manage the full customer lifecycle—from first website visit through qualification, demos, onboarding, retention, and expansion—by assigning persistent agents that carry context across text Q&A, voice demos, and in-product activation. Founded by Georg Vooglaid and a co-founder who previously worked on related ventures, the company launched its initial product in May 2023, pivoted in late 2024, and soft-launched the current platform in September 2025. Early traction includes more than 15 customers and a strong six-figure ARR by year-end, with cited customer outcomes such as a 60% reduction in bad-fit demos and double-digit monthly growth in sales-qualified leads for one user. Handhold targets SMB segments where one-to-one human account management is uneconomical, enabling sales teams to focus on mid-market and enterprise accounts while AI agents handle lower-value inbound volume. The company is also piloting use cases beyond SaaS, for example guiding users through consumer device setup via QR-code-triggered agent flows. Its roadmap emphasizes improving agent quality, compounding context across the journey, and expanding go-to-market to scale management of customer bases.

Mandel AI builds an AI supply chain coordination platform that sits atop existing email and ERP systems and uses purpose-built AI agents to read supplier communications, extract critical data, reconcile purchase order confirmations and invoices, and act autonomously. Its agents follow up with suppliers, flag discrepancies, and escalate issues according to company-defined rules, replacing email-and-spreadsheet workflows. The company reports it has processed more than $1 billion in material spend for clients across aerospace, pharma, industrials, and other complex manufacturing sectors. Mandel says one procurement manager using its agents can coordinate work that previously required an entire team by handling hundreds of supplier emails per day, around the clock. The startup aims to become an API for global trade communication and enable self-coordinating supply chains across manufacturers and distributors in North America and Europe. It is led by founder and CEO Nick Gospodinov.
